There is no one way to respond to harassment. Every situation is different and only you can evaluate the problem and decide on the best response. Friends, affirmative action officers, human resource professionals and women's groups can offer information, advice and support, but only you can decide what is right for you. The only thing you can be absolutely certain of is that ignoring the situation will not cause it to go away. Above all, DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF FOR THE HARASSMENT. It is not your fault.

After the Guwahati incident, wherein a girl was sexually molested
by around 30 men, I have been getting calls from concerned parents and IT/BPO companies
which employ women; all enquiring about
self-defense courses. Suddenly here was
an ugly reminder of the safety of women on Indian streets. “Oh..come on..it’s the same all over the
world. .tell me..if the girl is walking outside a bar at that time, what does
she expect?!” shrugged one middle
aged man, while another waved the whole the thing away with a generic dismissal , “She is a victim of the angrezi pub culture”But the truth is more ugly and accurate, as these facts below point out.

department of life people dream of results which are disproportionate to effort
